Husqvarna Motorcycles took the covers off the production specification 2018 model Vitpilen 701 machine alongside the all-new Svartpilen 701 concept motorcycle at EICMA in Milan, Italy.

Forming new additions to Husqvarna’s exciting street range, these two new motorcycles are powered by robust, yet sophisticated single-cylinder motors that are housed within a minimalistic layout.

The Vitpilen 701 is the highlight of Husqvarna’s re-entry into the street motorcycling segment. Impressing both the media and the public during its first launch as a prototype in 2015, it has now reached production and is expected to be available in early 2018.

Bringing about a new era of motorcycling for the sophisticated urban traveller, the Vitpilen 701 perfectly mixes enjoyable performance for novice and expert riders with a simple, yet progressive design and a unique style that’s largely inspired by the brand’s Swedish heritage.

The Vitpilen 701 is a modern bike that features some of the most state of the art technology available. From the trellis frame to the powerful 75hp single-cylinder motor or the standard WP suspension and Brembo brakes, it’s bristling with premium components, as well as Ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, switchable ABS and a slipper clutch.

As for the Svartpilen 701 concept, it is a dark street explorer that is free of excess and reduced to its simplest form. This machine aims to appeal to a new generation of motorcyclists and those preferring a simpler, timeless design approach.

Featuring a technologically-advanced four-stroke single-cylinder engine that is housed in an incredibly stripped down but progressive layout, it combines excellent performance with an authentic style. As accessible as a motorcycle can be, it’s a modern and innovative naked bike waiting to offer a raw and exhilarating experience on two wheels.

Details specific to the local market are yet to be released by Husqvarna Motorcycles Australia, however expect further information to arise on www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com.au once finalised.
